37、h-speed Internet access is provided by fiber-optic cables (光纤电缆). In fiber-optic systems, light signals are carried over long distances with fibers covered by cables. They have excellent performance, but they also have their own problems. Many parts of the world especially underdeveloped areas are n
38、ot able to afford to build fiber-optic networks. This prevents millions of people across the world from having access to the Internet.A new system being tested in India and Africa offers a partial solution to this problem. It was developed by Alphabet. Like fiber optics, the system uses light to car
39、ry high-speed Internet signals. But the light travels as beams (光束) through the air, without the need for fibers or cables. The beams can transmit high-speed data between two points with the help of receiving devices attached to structures. The technology is called Free Space Optical Communications
40、(FSOC).The project is called Taara, using an FSOC system to transmit high-speed data signals between two large African citiesBrazzaville and Kinshasa. The two cities are only 4.8 kilometers apart from each other, separated by the Congo River. The transmission of data signals is possible as long as t
41、here is a direct line of sight between the systems receiving devices.The system can be affected by some kinds of weather, like heavy fog, or by birds or other animals getting close to the equipment. But the Taara team says it has already made progress in making the system adjust to such environments
42、 to avoid any service outages.After adding its “pointing and tracking” equipment to beam connectivity across the river, Taara said the link provided nearly 700 terabytes of data in 20 days with 99.9 percent availability. It noted that that amount of data would be equal to that of watching a FIFA Wor
43、ld Cup match 270,000 times. Baris Erkmen, the director of engineering for Taara, has reported similar results in tests of the system in India. He said the team admitted that it couldnt expect to see “perfect reliability” in the system through all kinds of weather and conditions. However, he added, “
44、We believe Taaras links will continue to deliver similar performance and will play a key role in bringing faster, more affordable connectivity to people living in these cities.”46. What can we say about fiber-optic systems?A. Safe and adaptable. B. Complex but popular.C. Effective but expensive. D.
45、Demanding and reusable.47. Whats the main difference between the fiber-optic system and the FSOC system?A. Their signal quality. B. Their coverage area.C. Their transmission speed. D. Their transmission medium.48. What does the underlined word “outages” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Aging. B. Failure. C. U
46、pdating. D. Exposure.49. Why does the author present data in the last paragraph?A. To show the successful improvement to Taara.B. To describe the competitive World Cup match.C. To prove the convenience of beam connectivity.D. To introduce the perfect reliability of the system.50. What is Baris Erkme
47、ns attitude towards Taara?A. Positive. B. Cautious. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned.DIntelligence is not enough to create extraordinary work. The most creative people in history you admire approached problems differently. IQ alone cannot explain creative spark. “Creativity isnt a talent. Its a way of operating,” says John Cleese. Its a central source of meaning in our lives. Creative geniuses are able to bring seemingly contradictor y element s together in unusual and unexpected way
